🎶 Seven Swans a-Swimming! 🎶 Here's a look at the poultry from the 12 Days of Christmas - Day 7. 🎄 As the traditional centerpiece of the Christmas feast, swans were served roasted whole, in their skin and feathers. Records show that King Henry III ordered 40 swans for his Christmas celebrations in 1247. Only royalty was allowed to feast on a swan. The eating of a swan by a non-royal was considered an act of treason. 📸 by bilanol

🎵Six Geese A Laying!🎵Here's a look at the poultry from the 12 Days of Christmas - Day 6. 🎄 While not as popular as chickens with today’s poultry keepers, geese were once the poultry of choice amongst wealthy landowners and lords.

Four calling birds may not be what you think! Here's a look at the poultry from the 12 Days of Christmas - Day 4. 🎄 “Calling” is actually a distortion of “colly,” meaning as black as coal. Calling birds are in fact blackbirds, which we know from nursery rhymes were baked into pies and presented to royalty. These days, blackbirds are protected migratory birds, but in Elizabethan times, they were simply another game bird to catch and cook for dinner. 📸 by creativenature.nl
